Hey, Sunshine ~
Oh, thank goodness! For a moment I thought you were ignoring me. It’s okay, I know that emails can become tedious to get through, or even lost in the mail, and it’s true that sometimes I am out of range and I think my texts have gone through but they haven’t. But you’ve responded now and that’s all that matters. You were waiting like a young girl for my text? That just gives me the shivers; makes me feel like a high-school guy again – this is good! Actually I was thinking about the Movie, Grease, although I’m not really sure of which knucklehead I am from the gang! This is how personal connections are meant to make us feel, don’t you think? Lively and invigorated, happy, excited and looking forward to the future. Well, what I meant by spending my weekends alone is that I don’t need people around me all the time. As much as I like to be out with my mates, unless there’s plans I’ve committed to, I like being alone. Although, this could change soon, considering I’ve met you. After my divorce I didn’t really want to speak to too many people. The friends my ex and I had were mutual, meaning that by me visiting them separately, I felt I would have put them in a situation where they would feel awkward; who should they support – me or my wife, and we both have different versions regarding the cause of our divorce. So, I just greet those people when I see them, and the rest of the time I spend time contemplating life, reading, writing poetry on occasion, and sometimes I water the garden! At night I like to put on some music, keep my blinds open so that I can look over the mountainside alongside my home, and I just venture off into my imagination, which is a pretty awesome place to be – in my opinion! If I feel creative I’ll write a poem or might even attempt a pencil sketch. But, mostly, being a businessman, I need this time to clear my head and concentrate on my well-being. Often I wear my robe only (no restrictions around my body) and I get quite deep into music, especially instrumental pieces with no words. It’s my go-to when I really need to relax. I enjoy reading adult books; not dirty porn but suspense-type contemporary romance; there’s usually some wicked businessman curating a dirty deal and he falls in love, but the one he falls in love with is actually a spy from a competing firm – hah ha – that kind of thing. Books are better than movies, because with a book you can picture what’s happening in your own imagination. Funny, not long ago I got so involved in a book that I didn’t notice that a spark from my fireplace had spurted out onto my Flokati rug. If that thing sets on fire, I’d literally be toast. I’d forgotten to put the grid in-front of the fireplace. Anyhow, I caught it in time and not much noticeable damage was done to the rug, but the smell was something else so I lit a couple incense sticks and it was all good. I won’t do that again! Okay, I do agree it would be easier to speak with you on the phone. I do enjoy writing, which is why I write to you so often, but I do understand not many people are as open to tapping at keys as a way to talk, so yes – let’s arrange a time to talk, and soon after that a place to meet. As a note, I will be leaving for New York on Friday morning – an unexpected business trip that I need to attend. I also received an email from my aunt in Switzerland last night, telling me that my uncle (whom I’m very fond of) has fallen ill. He was like a father to me when I grew-up, and we still have a solid connection. So, in fear of him not recovering, I’ve made arrangements to travel to Switzerland next week to be with him. So, I may be late in responding to any messages you send, depending on when and if I have a connection, but I will always respond. After next week my schedule will be less complicated, and we can make an arrangement to meet somewhere nice for both of us. In the meantime, I’d be happy to jump on a call with you when you feel like it. I do agree that sometimes through letters we don’t always get the true feeling behind what the other is saying. Talking and hearing each other’s expressions through our voices is good, too – if not better! Okay, I’m going to end it off here, and look forward to hearing from you again (very much). Have a great day! Thinking of you,
